Greenestreet Films International (GSFI) continued a busy EFM here as it sold Sundance pick-up The Nines to Optimum for the UK. Sales chief Ariel Veneziano did the deal with Optimum's Will Clarke on the three-part story starring Ryan Reynolds, Hope David and Melissa McCarthy.


GSFI also closed deals on the Aaron Eckhart comedy Bill with Telepool in Germany, Lizard in Russia, Sandrew Metronome in Scandinavia, Village Roadshow in Greece, and Blue Sky Media in Eastern Europe.

Rights to comedy Gary The Tennis Coach starring Seann William Scott went to Luxor in Russia, Sandrew Metronome in Scandinavia, Village Roadshow in Greece, D Productions in Turkey, Castelo Lopes in Portugal, Blitz in Indonesia, Pioneer in the Philippines, and Blue Sky Media in Eastern Europe. Optimum previously acquired UK rights.

The thriller Unknown will be released by Force in Australia, Alfa in Argentina, Ascot Elite in Germany, and Blanco & Travieso in Venezuela.

Veneziano negotiated all deals on behalf of the three films.
